I don't know where you get the idea that it's cheaper to buy and run a gas guzzler.

I gave you an example. $300 for the car. Ran it two years and then gave it to my nephew.

For sure with the price of gas then all things considered I grab the cheaper car to run. But hardly the only consideration ---there are kids to be hauled around and we can hardly all pile in the smart car nor that 92 civic either that Flash mentioned.

Lots of real world considerations. Sure anytime it makes economic sense and I can manage the intial outlay I go for it but within a balance. Same balanced approach I expect the government to continue with.
